    Madeira - 2nd to 6th July 2018

    Finally combining a few of those most interesting (to me) Pterodroma pics for comparison. The first is the small-billed controversial Desertas in the same pose as the first photographed Zino’s. I think that you can see slight differences in wing length, head and body size and perhaps in bill...

    Madeira - 2nd to 6th July 2018

    Five pics of the small-billed Desertas from the first pelagic. I have had the advantage of not only Catarina’s and Hugo’s views on this bird but also Bob Flood who accompanied us. He described this as a tricky bird but as the neck and bill are long, it is large bodied and the underwing is...

    And that leaves the pterodromas…….. Five different Desertas - the first one seen (pelagic one), a close large-billed bird (pelagic one), two different ones (pelagic two) and another (pelagic three). All the best Paul

    Not many more landbirds – a couple of Spectacled Warblers, Grey Wagtail (anyone else see quite a few of these with albinism in the tertials?), Rock Sparrow & an endemic subspecies of Kestrel taking issue with a nominate subspecies of Buzzard. All the best Paul
